The trend on cars is to use larger and larger rims (17”+ on sedans). But this is all aesthetic and very expensive and not practical for daily driving. The ordinary person would benefit much more from 15” or 16” rims:

    • There are so many more quality tire options and they are much more affordable.
    • The meatier tires act as a natural suspension and absorb so much shock which puts a lot less stress on the mechanical suspension of your own car decreasing your maintenance costs in the long run
    • Ride comfort improves dramatically due to have more rubber and shock absorption.
    • Tires last longer due to having thicker treads
    • Rims weigh less giving better acceleration (since less torque is required to rotate than heavier wheels)
    • Transmission (the most delicate part of the car) shifts smoother since wheels are lighter.
    • Tires are readily available in 15” at any Walmart if you get a flat. No waiting days for a replacement like on 17” tires.
